This command will replace and refresh the 'User_Feed_Synchronization' task.

This will not affect the RSS Feeds you are subscribed to.

Hope this helps.

Thank you! I had read multiple web pages which talked about editing or removing the User_Feed_Synchronization task in Task Scheduler, but even with hidden tasks enabled, mine was not being displayed, though I was getting the cited error message and my feeds were not updating. But you are the first person I have seen mention the msfeedssync command, and sure enough, that command resolved the problem.

I have had an issue under windows 2008 SP2 where tasks I have created have become corrupt. They seem to work fine for a number of days/weeks and then stop working when you go to investigate and open up Task Scheduler you get the message as described above. This has happen across a number of servers within our enviroment, do you know what causes this issue?

I'm happy with the resolution but would perfer to find what the cause is as schedule tasks are heavily used to monitor different appications within our environment.

Ronnie I have the same problem with windows 7 on my 32 bit toshiba laptop. Will your answer solve my problem too! I'm using window 7 and I think he mentioned he had vista. Thanks in advance. I also get windows backup did not complete sucessfully. windows backup had to skip all the drives included in the backup. The other message is: Windows could not disable the automactic backup job for the followin reason: the task image is corrupt or has been tampered with: (Ox80041321) try again.mlc

I have done exactly as you have said above but when I run msfeedssync enable in the command prompt nothing happens and I deleted 2 User_Feed_Synchronization files, now they are gone and the command prompt did not restore them and I am still getting the "The
task image is corrupt or has been tampered" error on about a dozen files. What can I do now?

Thank you for your advice. I had the exact same problem, although I think the problem may have started when I imaged my C drive to a new SDD. My backups, degrags (of non-SDD drive) and other important tasks have not been running for weeks. I
am confident your above suggestion has fixed that. At least I can now open the Task Scheduler without a heap of error and corruption messages appearing.

The steps described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2305420 are indeed the best answer. However, they are rather laborious, especially if you are looking at 40 or more corrupt tasks, as seems to be the typical case if you have rolled
back from Windows 10 to Windows 7. You may therefore find my free and open source tool to automate these steps to be useful. You can find it at https://repairtasks.codeplex.com/
